◇”Welcome to the initiative of the’Corona 19 Closing Compensation’ bill…I need to implement it quickly”
He said, “It is reasonable to have special compensation for special sacrifices,” he said. “For the direct damage caused by the government prohibiting or restricting business through administrative power, it is necessary to’compensate’, and that is consistent with the principle of equality under our constitution. “Do” he emphasized.
“This is different from the problem of selective support and universal support in the past,” he said. “Because the business was stopped due to government policy, not self-contained,’compensation’ is correct.”
In addition, at the Democratic Party, Rep. Lee Dong-ju has already proposed a similar bill, and the House Representative Kim Tae-nyeon has expressed its position to’review.
Germany provides 75% of sales and 90% of fixed expenses to small business owners and self-employed people, and Canada pays about 860,000 won every two weeks.
Japan, which limited its restaurant and bar business to 8 pm, also announced that it would compensate 60,000 yen (600,000 won) a day, and major countries around the world are directly compensating for losses.
Public opinion is also favorable to the’Corona 19 closure compensation system’.
OhmyNews commissioned a public opinion polling agency Real Meter on the 12th to conduct a poll for 500 adults over the age of 18 (7.6% response rate, 6572 people in total calls) about the’Corona 19 Closure Compensation System’. 53.6% of respondents said they should. On the other hand, only 38.7% answered’I disagree’.
◇ Kim Jong-min’s criticism of the Democratic Party’s Supreme Council member, “Thank you for the affectionate advice”
Kim Jong-min, a Democratic Party member. Reporter Hwang Jin-hwan-Governor Lee also said, “I am grateful for giving affectionate advice as a’one team’ to Kim Jong-min and the Democratic Party’s top committee member, who expressed critical opinions on the’review of disaster subsidies for former residents’ in Gyeonggi-do.”
He said, “As a member of the Democratic Party’s government, it is natural and important to keep pace with the central government as well as the party,” he said. “I fully agree that quarantine is the top priority and universal selection is not an alternative issue.”
However, the governor said, “There are no people who have not suffered from Corona 19, and the reality of self-employed and small business owners is very difficult.” “If we do not urgently engage in economic quarantine along with health quarantine, we may have to pay a greater price.” Expressed his opinion.
Then he concluded, saying, “I will consider enough,” and “I would like to ask for your interest and advice in Gyeonggi Province in the future.”
At the Supreme Council’s meeting held at the National Assembly on the same day, Kim said, “As the quarantine authorities still judge that the quarantine reins should be tightened more reliably rather than boosting consumption through external activities, some local governments such as Gyeonggi Province consume it separately from the government’s disaster subsidies. “We are releasing a disaster subsidy plan for each local government for promotion.”
He said, “To maintain the quarantine posture, the central government and local governments must go together,” he said. “A hasty policy that is not coordinated with the quarantine authorities can cause confusion in the national quarantine network.”
Chief Commissioner Kim also argued that “disaster support policies by local governments could lead to polarization of support funds differently from their intentions, which could undermine national unity in response to the coronavirus.”
